  1. I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
  2. Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
  3. Sinner probably won't play in another edition of the Davis Cup. That shouldn't come as a surprise. Next season, Wimbledon and maybe Paris should be the goal.
  4. Does Ukraine have good relations with Poland, or are they more cold, like, for example, Italy with France?
  5. Until recently, Ukrainian fencing was just Kharlan and sabre. Maybe epee sometimes. I don't remember them ever was strong in foil. There was a time when Russia, Romania and Poland were strong in foil at that time when Italy dominated but I don't remember Ukraine anymore. Hungarian women with Aida Mahomed were too strong for many years.
  6. Argentina also has ski centers on the Tierra del Fuego but that doesn't mean it will immediately become a powerhouse in this sport
  7. Speak for yourself. Why should we give up our one great talent of the younger generation when we have no one else? Maybe from the same reason that the USA didn't give up Schiffrin to another country when she had 17-18...
  8. But in women's epee another defeat by Ukraine. We are slowly developing a complex about this country, because we are constantly losing to them in sabre too. Sabre has always been Ukrainian, epee for a draw or our slight advantage but a failed in women`s foil, which is already a shocking novelty
  9. Berrettini silent king.
  10. There is a difference between the Italians in 2012 and in 2024. The gold in the team in Paris should be ours. In my opinion, the USA now has the best training staff and that is why many fencers go there.
  11. I'm worried about the Italian team. In Paris the form was bad and not getting 1 gold in the whole foil was a failure. Cerioni isn`t as good as he used to be
  12. And will the sabers team continue to train in Bologna? Kharlan will now be getting married to Samele, so she can safely settle down in Italy permanently.
  13. In 1994, it was said that the weather was consistently beautiful during the games - sun and blue skies. I was still too young to watch those games. Generally speaking, however, February is always sunnier than November in Scandinavia.
  14. Weather is better?
  15. Where does this foil team train? The sabre team trained in Bologna to Paris.
  16. Wow, long time ago.
  17. Men`s team is in finale but women's team raises concerns. Summer games totally failed, no generational change. I fear the US will dominate women's foil for many years to come.
  18. Zografski was the junior champ medalist some years ago?
  19. He's not a great shooter either. Vittozzi has a better chance with women.
  20. I don`t think. The advantage od Norway it`s too big. Giacomel would have to be a talent on the scale of Martin Fourcade to break the Norwegian dominance.
  21. The squad was reserve, but that's a disgrace. Apart from Favaretto, there's no generational change. Without Volpi and Errigo, we're very weak. After Paris, it was already clear that the USA had clearly overtaken us. Cerioni isn`t the miracle worker he once seemed.
  22. This Finn trains in Norway. It would probably be better to send 2-3 of our juniors to Norway, pay the local federation and let them train there. Maybe something will come of it. We should have given money to the Colturi team and now we would be in a much better situation than we are now. France: 2 win for Clement, 4 place for Amiez. You can see that there is progress and we? 19 Vinatzer? This is a joke.
  23. Croatia, Bulgaria and even the UK have skier in the top 10 today. The UK doesn't even have mountains with snow. Can you fall any lower than we do? If the UK had mountains like ours they would be the best in the world.
  24. Nothing will come of this Italian slalom. It's getting worse every year. The Italians' style of riding is simply not suited to the current times. It's too slow. One Lara Colturi will earn more points for this 2nd place than the entire Italian men's and women's slalom team by the end of this year... I would give money to the Colturi team than to the entire squad of these mediocre skier.
  25. As of today Rodlauer is doing worse job than Colloredo
